Nomura analyst, Romit Shah, believes investors should be long NXP Semiconductors NV (NASDAQ: NXPI) based on a 13% potential upside estimate. He believes EPS will increase from $5.50-6.00 in CY16 to $9.00-10.00 in CY18. If management executes, the implied valuation discrepancy between NXP (9x) and comps (14-15x) is unsustainable. Ultimately, NXP gets acquired.
NXP stands out to large-cap suppliers such as Broadcom (NASDAQ: BRCM), Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) and Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN) that might be considering transformational acquisitions.
As they evaluate the main criteria for acquisitions over the past year, NXP checks all the boxes: (1) Scale: NXPI is the fifth largest supplier by revenue; (2) Earnings accretion (~10-30%) based on operating leverage, interest expense and NOLs; (3) TAM expansion: 40% of sales are from automotive; (4) Distribution: NXPI has a significant presence in worldwide channels, which is valuable from a cross- selling perspective; (5) Strategic: NXPI is the market leader in several areas, including secure identification, MCUs, and mobile transactions.
The firm maintained a Buy rating and $100 price target on NXPI.
